With the Masur furniture range, Louise Hederström continues her close collaboration with upholsterer Carina Grefmar, which began with shelves in their “Ticka Project”. Here they explore further the opportunities and possibilities to challenge the leather, its sculptural possibilities and the possibilities of creating seating with an organic expression. As always, focusing on high quality craftsmanship and resourceful use of discarded or third-rate leather from Swedish cows. Here too, even waste material from Ticka projects padding is used. The shape is inspired by the messy, non-perfect and characteristic forms found in a natural forest. The name Masur means “abnormally oriented cells” and is often associated with Masur birch, which is one of Scandinavia’s most precious woods, but also with the burl that were often used to make cups and bowls throughout history.
